A good read
23 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
In Toronto's Chinatown, homicide detectives Barry Gilbert and Joe Lombardo search the apartment of murdered Edgar Lau for clues. The obvious evidence beyond the photographer's corpse is that no forced entry most likely means Edgar knew his killer and felt safe enough to allow he or she into the apartment. The cops also find an ammo clip with no gun and 3.5 million worth of heroine. Photographs of City Councilor Roslyn Surrey in sexy poses spice up the investigation. Outside, a glove is found hanging from a tree in the yard. Finally a witness saw Pearl Wu leave the scene of the crime.
The coroner adds to the complexity of the evidence when he reports that Edgar suffered an unreported bullet wound that, based on its healing, is three to four months old. The coroner also finds inside the victim's intestines a balloon containing a key. With all this evidence the case should be a snap for the two veteran police officers, but instead each clue opens up a gamut of new questions in this increasingly complicated case.
The FALL GUY is no six million-dollar man, but instead a tremendous Canadian police procedural that never slows down as the detectives track clues that seems to go everywhere and nowhere. The story line is superb as twists, turns, and new evidence keep occurring with no end in sight. The two detectives are a warm pair who feels like neighbors and the evidence indicates the lifestyle of the victim. Sub-genre fans will feel warm comfort knowing that talented Scott MacKay provides strong novels for reading pleasure.
